Meal Sweet Home: Farm Lady

Chapter 23

Although Qi Yuhao made up a scary joke to make Yu Ranyue stop making noise and ask Nan Yan to wash her clothes in the middle of the night, Nan Yan still didn't get a good night's sleep that night.

Yu Ranyue shouted hot for a while and asked Nan Yan to fan her; complained that her body was itchy and asked her to light an oil lamp to catch mosquitoes; cried thirsty for a while and asked for water...

Frequent and demanding.

If Nan Yan hadn't cared about the face of Qi Yuhao who had saved her several times and owed him debts, how could she be willing to bear the humiliation of Yu Ranyue, who was one year younger than herself and as unreasonable and unreasonable as a child? Temper.

The sun's halo has quietly appeared on the hillside, and this difficult night is finally over.Nan Yan dragged her weak body, walked out of the room to wash up, and prepared to make white fungus and lotus seed porridge.

Yu Ranyue spent most of the night tossing about, but now she fell into a sound sleep, her biological clock was already the opposite of that of ordinary people.

Even if Yu Ranyue, the general's daughter, didn't wait to eat tremella and lotus seed porridge, Qi Yuhao, who got up at that o'clock, had to eat breakfast and go out.

The whole process of making tremella and lotus seed porridge will take more than half an hour, and the preparation will start now, and when Qi Yuhao wakes up, it will be ready for him to taste first.

First, add half a pot of water to the round glutinous rice soaked in lotus seeds and sweet-scented osmanthus water soaked in water last night, and cook on low heat for four to ten minutes.

After this process is over, put in white fungus and pitted red dates and cook for 10 minutes.In this way, half an hour passed.

When the porridge is slightly sticky, add an appropriate amount of rock sugar and cook until it dissolves.

In this way, a well-made white fungus and lotus seed porridge is ready.It seems that the steps are simple, but it only takes time. In fact, Nan Yan has spent a lot of thought.

The unique aroma of the round glutinous rice soaked in osmanthus water overnight in the pot makes people salivate.

The sky has completely brightened up from the darkness and mist, and the real morning has come.The big rooster at Aunt Zhang’s house next door has been crowing for a long time, but no one paid attention to it.

Qi Yuhao has already woken up, just walked out of the room, before washing up, he already smelled the sweet but not greasy fragrance of tremella and lotus seed porridge from the kitchen, mixed with the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus, even if he took a deep breath, he still felt Comfortable and refreshing.

"Get up, breakfast is ready." Nan Yan heard Qi Yuhao's footsteps, and said while using a spatula to turn over the cooked white fungus and lotus seed porridge.

Qi Yuhao didn't make a sound, and went outside to wash up in the yard.When he returned to the door of the kitchen, Nan Yan had already packed a bowl of porridge and placed it on the stone table in the yard.

In fact, Qi Yuhao is not extremely picky about food, but it must at least meet his standards.

In terms of the cutting method of the ingredients, they must be even and beautiful; the dishes should be bright and moist;This kind of standard is far inferior to the imperial meal in the palace, it can only be said to be measured by the standard of a big restaurant in a place.

This bowl of freshly made white fungus and lotus seed porridge is quite appetizing in terms of color and ingredients.

After Qi Yuhao carefully looked at the bowl of porridge, he scooped up a spoon, and saw that the viscosity of the porridge was just right, with a refreshing and bright visual effect, and the tangy sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance made people couldn't help but take a sip immediately Put it in your mouth.

Nan Yan has been hiding on the side of the kitchen and carefully observing Qi Yuhao's every move.Qi Yuhao put a spoonful of porridge into his mouth, closed his eyes and savored it carefully, and after taking a bite into his throat, he nodded slightly with satisfaction.

Nan Yan saw this subtle movement and was delighted.Qi Yuhao never praised him in front of her face, this sneak peek was enough to make her so happy that she was completely relieved of sleepiness last night, and the dark circles around her eyes were not a problem.

Nan Yan's cooking skills are indeed improving little by little.In fact, she already has the talent to be a chef, but it has never been discovered.How can I say that my ancestors, all the way to her father's generation, were chefs.

Because she is a girl with outstanding looks, the father in the previous life was reluctant to let her spend her whole life in the kitchen surrounded by four walls and surrounded by oily smoke, so she never planned to let her take over the cooking skills passed down from her ancestors.

With the help of the miraculous apparition of the ancestral carved jade bracelet on her left hand, coupled with her innate aptitude, it is quite normal for Nan Yan's rapid improvement in cooking skills.

"Don't hide there and peek, come out!" Qi Yuhao lowered his throat for the second mouthful of luscious and fragrant white fungus and lotus seed porridge, and said calmly.

Nan Yan immediately put away the smug expression just now, and pretended to be calm and moved in small steps in front of Qi Yuhao.

"This bowl of white fungus and lotus seed porridge is well done, exceeding my expectations." Qi Yuhao swallowed a mouthful of porridge and said lightly.

I didn't expect him to praise Nan Yan in front of her this time, and he didn't shy away from it at all.

At this moment, Nan Yan couldn't even mention how happy she was, how rare it was for Qi Yuhao to nod in applause!
Without much effort, Qi Yuhao had already eaten a large bowl full of white fungus and lotus seed porridge, and not a single grain of rice paste was left.

"Ran Yue will definitely be satisfied with this porridge. After she wakes up, you can serve it to her with confidence. I'm going out!" Qi Yuhao got up, straightened his clothes, and strode out of the yard.

Judging from the relationship between Qi Yuhao and Yu Ranyue, Qi Yuhao should know Yu Ranyue quite well.He said it was fine, so he was afraid that Yu Ranyue would pick and choose again?

Thinking of this, Nan Yan couldn't help secretly happy, picked up the bowl that Qi Yuhao had just eaten, and washed it in the kitchen.

In a blink of an eye, another half an hour passed. In order to ensure that the consistency of the white fungus and lotus seed porridge was not too thick, Nan Yan added some sweet-scented osmanthus water from time to time and warmed it over a low heat.

At this time, Yu Ranyue's big yawn came from the room, and she was calling Nan Yan over.

Nan Yan got up from the stove and walked to the window of the house, "Miss, are you awake? What's your order?"

Nan Yan never regarded herself as a servant, so although she spoke respectfully towards Yu Ranyue, her tone was weak.

"Are you a servant like this? Miss, I woke up, and the first thing I did was wash up. Go and get me a basin of warm water." As soon as Yu Ranyue woke up, the young lady's temper flared up.

Nan Yan stood outside the window without answering, cast a stern look at the room where Yu Ranyue was sleeping, and turned around to prepare water for washing.

She handed the basin with warm water into the room, and Yu Ranyue sniffed it back and forth with her nose like a puppy, "It smells so good outside, what is that?"

Nan Yan put the wash water on the twig next to the bed, and said softly, "It's the aroma of white fungus and lotus seed porridge."

"Tremella and lotus seed porridge? You made it?" Yu Ranyue stroked her sleeves and asked in disbelief, because she didn't believe that Nan Yan would have such a good craftsmanship and be able to make such porridge with such a pleasant aroma.

"I did it."

"Bring me a bowl to taste." Yu Ranyue lowered her head and washed her face with water.

Nan Yan still didn't respond, she turned and walked out of the house to get her a bowl of white fungus and lotus seed soup.She was very careful when serving Yu Ranyue this bowl of porridge.The white fungus, lotus seeds, red dates and other ingredients in it are all in a moderate ratio to the glutinous rice. I'm afraid that Yu Ranyue will be picky and sacrifice the bowl, and she will be full of anger.

Nan Yan took the bowl of white fungus and lotus seed porridge out of the kitchen, preparing to deliver it to Yu Ranyue in the room.Suddenly, I heard Xiangmei's crisp voice coming from the gate of the courtyard.

"Sister Yan, what delicious food did you cook? It smells so good!" Although Xiangmei is small, she has a very bright nose.

Her father and several elder brothers went out to work before dawn, but she was woken up by her mother in a daze when the sun was drying her buttocks.While washing her face, she smelled the aroma coming from the yard next door, and before Aunt Zhang called her to have breakfast, she swung her two calves to Nan Yan's side.

"Mei'er, you're up." Seeing Xiangmei looking at her with sleepy eyes, Nan Yan greeted with a smile.

"Well, just after waking up, I could smell the fragrance from Sister Yan's side. I'll come here to see what is so fragrant." Xiangmei jumped to Nan Yan's side. The fragrance was even stronger. She looked up. In the bowl in Nanyan's hand.

"Ah, that's the fragrance. Sister Yan, what is this?" Xiangmei asked, pointing to the porridge in the bowl.

"Tremella and lotus seed porridge!"

"Ah, so this is white fungus and lotus seed porridge!" Xiangmei lived in the countryside since she was a child, and of course she had never seen this kind of food eaten by wealthy people.

Xiangmei's pink and tender tongue licked her sequined thin lips, as if she was too greedy.

"Mei'er, do you want to eat?" Seeing this, Nan Yan asked kindly.

"Eat, eat!" Xiangmei and Nan Yan were not polite at all.

"Then take this bowl!" Nan Yan handed the bowl to Xiangmei, and turned around to give Yu Ranyue another bowl.

Before Nan Yan could take a step to go to the kitchen, Yu Ranyue who was in the room suddenly rushed out of the room like a monkey, and jumped in front of Nan Yan and Xiangmei.

Nan Yan and Xiangmei were naturally taken aback, they didn't expect Yu Ranyue to move so fast.

Seeing the porridge with white fungus and lotus seeds that Xiangmei had delivered to her mouth, Yu Ranyue became furious, "Who told you to drink my porridge, you beggar! This bowl of porridge is for me, why do you drink it? "

As she spoke, she stretched out her right hand nimbly, and knocked the bowl that Xiangmei brought to her mouth to the ground, knocking down a bowl of clear white fungus and lotus seed porridge.

In ancient times, the bowls were very thick, so when they were dropped on the muddy floor, they would not be smashed, and at most they would be broken in half.

Unfortunately, this bowl became the third one sacrificed by Yu Ranyue's subordinates. It seems that there must be more bowls in the kitchen.

"What are you doing?" It was the first time, and the second time, Xiangmei will not be frightened like the last time, only anger in her heart.She pointed at Yu Ranyue with one hand, breathing hot air from her nostrils.

"What am I doing? You ate my porridge and dare to question me instead?" Yu Ranyue rolled up her sleeves, as if she was going to hit someone.

At this time, Nan Yan couldn't bear Yu Ranyue's actions anymore, she rushed forward to protect Xiangmei, "There is still so much in the pot, I'll just give you another bowl, why bother with a child... ..."

Snapped! ...

Before Nan Yan finished speaking, there was a crisp sound, and a heavy slap landed on Nan Yan's left cheek!
